If India make it to the semis, I will put the key player of India as my avatar for a week...

We miss you, Fardin. :(. RIP.

Shall change my avatar to Arsene Wenger if England win a game against a non-minnow.

Well Halz is looking good. I confess I've come somewhere close to showing an interest, when looking earlier today at whether SA would beat NZ and hence eliminate England at the earliest possible opportunity.

The interest centres around the time England get to Sri Lanka to start the proper limited-overs cricket, though, nothing really to do with this tourney.

If Stuart Broad takes less than 7 wickets, I'll change my avatar to whoever wants to take this up against me. If he takes 7 or more, I'll find some sort of treat for the rest of the world to see for 1 month in their place.

Any takers?

You can have a picture of Sally Sparrow, and underneath, something about how ugly she is.

1) Had double pneumonia as a kid, as did my twin sis. Doctors told my parents to pray that we lived through the night. Dad said **** off, I'm an atheist, you ****s better save my kids, etc. Then prayed anyway.
